Easy Tips everyone ought to know how to Save on Home Heating

If
you use a faulty home heating method then there are chances that you
will have
to face a heavy bill. You can save on home heating by bearing in mind
certain
tips. Allow a professional expert to test your duct system and check
whether
there is any air leak. Cracks, disconnections, and gaps in home duct
systems can
cause a loss of about 25% to 40% of the entire energy that is produced
by the
heater or the central furnace. By professionally cleaning your heating
system,
you will be reducing the instances of breakdown in midwinter. This also
helps
to ensure better efficiency and is a safety measure as well.

Use
a heater with a programmable thermostat, which can save up to $100
every year.
During summer set the thermostat to high. In winter, wear warm clothes
indoors
and it is less expensive to use an electric blanket than a heater in
the
bedroom.

A
passive solar heating equipment is also a useful and cost-effective
method of
heating your home. Such systems do not require fans pumps, and
electrical
equipment.

Another
way of saving is by insulating your water heater. In case of electric
water
heaters that have an insulating blanket or jacket, you should not set
the
thermostat over 130 F as it can lead to overheating of the wiring.
